Our first taste of existential dread
Final Fantasy IX Part 1
The Final Fantasy series learned hard into science fiction territory in the PS1 era, so IX was an attempt to return it to more fantasy-based fare while still retaining some of the darker themes and gameplay improvements of the later games. It worked quite well, I think; it's my favorite of the PS1 Final Fantasy games and probably my second favorite mainline game overall after 5. The only thing I dislike is that the minigames really suck; thankfully they're almost entirely optional and not tied to any major character improvements, unlike say, X or FF7 Rebirth.
I'm playing with the Memoria mod and the Moguri graphical enhancement pack. It's an unstable build so it tends to crash; thankfully it also autosaves so you don't lose a lot of progress when it does.
I forgot about this guy. Ran into him twice while doing some off-camera skill point farming.
Answer his questions correctly and you get money and items. Answering all 16 correctly gets you an achievement in the HD versions.
(The correct answer to both of these is "false")
Final Fantasy VI Part 8 (Finale)
The world is saved (in the dumbest way possible)
Honestly if the game has a major shortcoming it's that there's all these sidequests to do and the potential to become so absurdly powerful but the challenge just kind of stops being present once you hit level ~40 so it all feels a bit superfluous. Could really use a few superbosses, or maybe a harder difficulty setting.
Maybe that could be if they ever do a HD-2D remake, or something along the lines of the FF7 Remake series. This game would work a lot better for that format I think
Final Fantasy VI Part 1
The SNES cult classic
What "cult" means is an exercise I leave to the viewer
Earthbound Beginnings Remake Part 3
This really is the game of PK Freeze
Everything else kinda crap by comparison
Earthbound Beginnings Remake Part 2
Bigfoot is this game's equivalent to Emerald Weapon

This game does get pretty insanely hard in places, but thankfully a level farming spot from the original is still in this version. Head to the train tunnel south of Merrysville.

The enemies in here are super dangerous but they give good XP and are relatively easy to kill with Ana's PK Freeze. I took advantage to get everyone to at least Level 35 (and buy Magicant's best gear) before I moved on.
